This is the largest Minecraft project I have ever undertaken on my own. It has been in progress since May 2013. Prior to building it, its measurements were drawn out on paper which took about two to three weeks. Currently, its moat is near completion. However, there is still a lot of work left to do, especially the interior.

This castle is made for more than just eye-candy. It is built to be a PvP map. It is a mighty fortress built to defend the Damiyo/Shogun from his rival clans and enemies & show off his power and wealth. The castle's name originated from a mountain near to it that resembles an eagle's head, and its location near a river.

Takagawa Castle is a flatland-mountain castle (hirayamajiro) built on top of a small hill. The main keep's design is based on Nagoya Castle's main keep. It has three layers of walls made of wood, stone and quartz, ten watch towers, two gates, and so much more yet to come.

When completed, I hope to see this castle be turned into a ferocious battleground on PvP servers and have players fight over for control of Takagawa Castle. Since this castle is built by one person, I hope the castle would be finished by May-June 2014. Delays may occur during construction.
